Tubes on top and Class D on the bottom


I am curious about an experiment involving tubes for the tweeter midrange and Class D Bel Canto M300s) on the woofers of my Von Schweikert VR-4JRs. After reading about the little Miniwatt N3, which is an integrated amp, can I use it for level matching? I would be feeding a signal from a Modwright SWL 9.0 tubes pre-amp to both amps. Or, would I blow everything up in the process, like Mister Wizard?

I was wanting to do the same thing with my 4jr's and I emailed a few people on this site and got great advice and sold the m-300's and bought a Moscode 401hr which was exactly what the doctor ordered. It's also fun because you change the sound easily with tube changes. This is one fantastic amp with the 4jr's. Sorry I couldn't answer your question but I thought you might want to look into this.

Good luck

FWIW there are tube amps that go full power to 2Hz...

20Hz response with zero squarewave tilt is thus possible. So I would not use the 'response to 20Hz' issue as an argument against tubes, just say'n...
Atmasphere, thanks for your reply. I am thinking that tube amps that go below 20 Hz with authority are expensive. At what price range do they start?

IMO, you can certainly do it, at the expense of musical involvement.

The sound will never be cohesive with different amps on top and bottom.

It can be fun with each amp working in it's "best range", but it won't be cohesive or ultimately satisfying.
